I have an AMD FX8350 cpu, it doesn't have AVX2. Shadps4 runs fine but fails to install PKG. If I emulate avx2 with Intel SDE, the PKG installs fine. After that I can start shadps4 normally and start the games. Thanks and great job

I am not an expert on this but they may be using some libraries of AVX2.

You can also extract it with other PKG extractor applications, there are extractors that do not require AVX2.

Gracias, ¿alguna recomendación de extractor de pkg?

Al ejecutar juegos, me afectará no tener avx2? o tendré el mismo rendimiento?

I guess AVX2 is not needed for emulation.

Sorry but I can't share this I think you can just Google it yourself.

@georgemoralis Hey, is this considered piracy?

For PS4 games AVX2 instructions are strictly required, some games of course may not use them but they can, and therefore I assume the application is compiled with support for AVX2 instructions.

Closing as AVX2 is required for emulation. For those people looking for alternatives anyway, I recommend PkgEditor.
